New cali ride?
What you think, classic lines of C-1 with prefromance items of the C-3 time period and the dependable powertrain of a C-4.
I'd wait a few months Corvetteless to "upgrade to that"

Re: New cali ride? (Cali,77,L-82)
There's a couple of those around here. Basically a C1 body with a custom frame, C4 driveline & suspension. Sweet!
But I would never, ever want to be in an accident in a C1. Both driver and passenger are facing some deadly-looking stuff. Steering column for the driver, and that handgrip thing for the passenger!

Can you say "Optispark"?

EDIT: Sorry, it looks like they removed the optispark unit.

I can count my favourite years on one hand and a 1962 is there. The owner put a lot of money into that car and it shows. It is very professionally done. If you have deep pockets I would say go for it.

How about this one?

I believe this one has the C5 underpinnings and drivetrain. I would buy it, but there would be a SERIOUS cash flow problem.
